I know right? I see people up there trying to call the ad racist for depicting something that happens universally in every culture.
C'mon folks stop seeing demons behind every corner.

So Face ID will allow anyone to grab your phone and hold your head in the correct position and open your phone instantly. With a decent passcode it will take them quite some time to try every combination, maybe days or longer. So seems to me it makes your phone less secure. Kind of like those building access locks that use a thumb print. The crooks will just have to take your Thumb with then then.
Sometimes the quick unlock is annoying too. There are moments when I want it turned off or have a slider again to confirm unlocking. When I have the phone next to my Mac at work and a notification comes in, it unlocks too quickly because it sometimes "thinks" I am looking at it.
I'd take Face ID over Touch ID everyday all day.
Countless times Touch ID fails to register my fingerprint and i have to enter a passcode which defeats the purpose...especially if i've just washed my hands.
Meanwhile Face ID has never let me down. Especially after they allowed mask recognition.
Can't wait for Face ID to come to Mac.
Is using facial recognition to unlock a smartphone supposed to offer an "exclusive experience"?
Every new smartphone has had it for at least 5 years by 2024. Yes, perhaps the "Face ID" on Android is less privacy-oriented, but that's not the focus of this advertisement.
I don't get it.

The funny thing is that my 16 year old daughter can unlock my 20 year old son's iphone with her face!
My wife's 14 years younger sister can open my wife's iPhone with FaceID. I didn't believe it, but then saw she did it. And no - no other FaceID's are set up in her phone. Absolutely crazy.
You know you can set up multiple "faces". I have a version of me with glasses, and without. Done. Also, FaceID works much better when you are sweaty from exercise, or wet coming out of the shower. TouchID doesn't work so well with pruny fingers.
Apple has a huge problem with the finger ID. it fails to set up & function. Apple has failed to repair this issue. the technology is old. I had finger ID on iPhone a 'long" time ago. but my 13promax-no finger ID or Studio --dysfunctional. it is embarassing that Apple has become so complacent that it refuses to repair this finger ID failure.! im about ready to sue them! wake up Apple!
While not being an expert in law, I do believe that would come with a much heavier charge. Also, there is the practical reality of it... Not as easy as all that to cut someones digits off. Takes some kind of psychopath/sociapath that likely is already doing heavier crime then stealing phones.
IF this was a thing that was happening, we would already know of it. It would be all over the news. Are you kidding me? iPhone users getting their finger cut off would be headline sugar the news outlets would kill for.
Considering that iPhones are easy to locate after getting stolen.. A crime such as that would be high priority to pursue and police would be using "Find My iPhone" on the regular to catch criminals...finally.
Which is why this is just not a thing in reality.
Yes I have stored both my face with and without glasses, still fails regularly when I have a morning face and hair.
